Abstract

Production planning and resource allocation is a complex industrial decision-making problem. Sophisticated computational model of a manufacturing domain may support this decision making by simulation of multiple variants of alternative plans and thus help identifying the most suitable one (according to defined conditions). Multi-agent system is an example of such a computational model as it can naturally represent the hierarchical and distributed structure of the manufacturing enterprise that is modelled. This item presents and discusses ProPlanT (Marík, Pechoucek, Štepánková, & Lažanský, 2000), a specific multi-agent technology/methodology for production planning and scheduling in the manufacturing domain. This methodology resulted in a framework for decision making support which was successfully applied in several pioneer applications.
